My favorite time of the year might be extending its length pretty soon. Massachusetts congressman Ed Markey and Missouri congressman Fred Upton are proposing that we extend daylight savings time by two months. This would mean that it would begin on the first Sunday of March and end on the last Sunday of November. This change in policy would be included in an energy bill that Congress has put together and are to vote on soon. It is estimated that this would save the country much energy use and would drop a day's consumption of oil by 10,000 barrels during this time. My question is; when will me make the whole year daylight savings? If it lasted as long as it is proposed, that would mean only about three months out of the twelve that we would not have daylight savings. By the time Congress is over with, the sun will set at midnight! Fun fun!
